TAKE ACTION

March 15, 2017- Full Day at the Capitol

This brief video features the “Army of Warriors”, as Susan Ward Payne, former president of PART, called them. They were there to be recognized as a group and to show their appreciation to our legislators who continue to support and fight for our State Supported Living Centers. 

We need ALL of these Specialty Care Centers for the most severe mentally and physically disabled. As family members, we visited all these offices to give them “accurate” information regarding the excellent care and services provided at SSLC’s that in NOT available in the “community” of “private, for profit providers” that is vital for the survival of these most vulnerable citizens. 

EVERY VOICE MAKES A DIFFERENCE!!! 

All the residents of SSLC’s and the wonderful, caring, hard working staff (state employees) all across the state of Texas will be blessed by your effort!
